 If you're tired of
struggling with dodgy disposable lighters while your
soup stays cold, iconic lighter brand Zippo may have the
anwer in the shape of the Outdoor
Utility Lighter (OUL) which is designed to
function in the outdoors.
Windproof....
The OUL is light years away from the classic Zippo. It's a windproof
unit, so won't blow out, with a long neck, so you can light your
temperamental petrol burner without frying your fingernails in the
process.
Other features include a child-resistant safety button, an advanced
ignition system and a fuel-level indicator so you know when you need to
top it up with butane gas. Constuction is metal for durability, it has
a carabiner clip and strap and even a built-in LED light.
Dual Flame Technology
The secret to the lighter's windproof performance is what Zippo calls
'dual flame technology' resulting in a highly wind-resistant flame.
Looks interesting and a far better option than uncooked pasta... The
Zippo OUL is priced at £15.50.

No figure for weight. I bet it weighs more than my entire cookset... I do like the look of their handwarmer, though. Spotted it in one of the comics at the weekend.
